I have a adopted it you munchkin... it's at mine now... dominating my sofa... seems to be litter trained too which is good
I am not really comfortable with "indoor" cats as they are intelligent creatures and they get bored easily. With the various cats i have had over the years they are at their most destructive when they reach the age they should be getting outside. Soon as they have had all their jabs and are allowed outside they calm right down. So if its going to be an indoor car then be prepared to play with it a lot even when its older and its claws and teeth do more damage. Buy it cat grass, its grass in a metal tray and the cat will eat it to aid its digestion. A laser pen (dont buy one made for pets they are not bright enough) and a cardboard box with a hole cut out in the side of it will provide your cat with more fun than most other toys. Again for an indoor car a 'cat tree' gives them plenty to do but they take up a lot of space. www.zooplus.co.uk has them for a fraction of the cost of most pet shops. If you decide to let it out then being chipped and insured is essential. My last cat got hit by cars three times and when he died of cancer we added up all the vets bills and it was well over £3k but the insurance paid for all of it minus the excess. As for disposing of the cat poop from the litter box shake of the loose litter and just flush it down the toilet, its no different from human poop after all. Most importantly have fun!
my cat freaks on the snow. It is nearly a year old,but still as cute as yours. It did not like my snowman,but likes to watch movies with me /catstory
Yesterday my cat had a bit of a 'mare - she went out for a poop, and obviously isn't used to pooing in snowy conditions... Anyway, I heard this weird sound and thought "What the hell is she upto now?!", went to the back door and found my cat sulking on the floor. I picked her up and all her back legs were limp - instant worrying thought of "has she been hit by a car?", put her down in the kitchen and she kinda flobbered for a minute, then all the snow started melting - she'd got her fur full of snow and her back legs went all numb! Classic silly cat moment.
My kitteh has been introduced to my parents house, and she absolutely loves it! I adopted her because my friend was moving back in with his parents and couldn't afford to keep her and his dog, a great big Lab/Lurcher cross. So she's been with me for nearly 6 months, and the cutest I've ever seen her was last night when I came home from my grandparents, she just strolled up to me and started purring, so I picked her up and she just fell asleep in my arms.

It's starting to seem like we should put up a POST YOUR *****-thread, everyone seems to have a cat.. weird. (also, mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/akeeh/4153524589/)
We had a really loving family ginger cat with a white belly. He made it all the way til 13 til he started dropping into comas - when taken to the vet, he was found to be suffering from liver failure and had to be put down I want a cat again eventually, but my girlfriend is not a cat person, and I both live in a city, and a flat, so I'll wait a few years and see what happens later on in life.
We do the same thing. Then again, when she's out, we are usually doing something outdoors. We don't take her for walks, but our large backyard seems to ample room to get exercise. Our mutt couldn't be happier
UPDATE::: Right... the cat aparrently... has fleas.. JOY... just run out of work to go buy wilkos own brand spot on and a flea comb, got some powder and a collar the other day just in case... But could really do with some kind of advice as to how to go about defleaing the little fuzzer.... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't afford to take him to the vets just now... spent the last fiver i have (goodbye idea of buying food for me lol) buying spot on and a comb... I'm taking it that holding the little bugger down with an oven glove and dousing him in powder after combing the crap out of him is probably the best way to go along with spot on and a flea collar? And .. Oh wow shave my *****... you're soooooo original :/
Go to the vet and ask, advice is free though they will probably recommend one of the treatments they sell. De-fleaing a kitten isn't the same as an adult cat, I was told to put the treatment on a pair of rubber gloves and then stroke the kitten(s). Once the fluffball is grown up I recommend frontline, been using it for years on mine and its been very good. Moriquendi
Flea collar works, but you need that first defence stuff really, which I think was mentioned on page 2. It chemically neuters the fleas, without harming the kitty, so no more eggs.
Lots of combing around it's tail. Also, check his poop, if there are little white things squiggling around, he has a tape worm. The cat gets the tapeworm from eating the fleas.
